What is a .consulting domain?
.consulting is an unrestricted generic top-level domain for advisory businesses, managed by Dog Beach, LLC, an Identity Digital registry company. IANA shows it delegated since 1 April 2014 and transferred to Dog Beach, LLC on 2 June 2021, which is why its registry name differs from the Binky Moon label on most Identity Digital endings.
The registry markets it to consulting firms, independent consultants, specialist service providers and businesses that sell expert training. The zone is DNSSEC-signed and lookups run over Identity Digital’s RDAP service.

Which Indian consultants register .consulting?
.consulting fits Indian advisers who sell know-how rather than products: compliance and GST consultants, ISO certification advisers, SAP and Salesforce freelancers, study-abroad counsellors and HR or POSH trainers. The ending states the service, leaving the name itself free for a personal or firm brand.
| Consultant | Example | Main page |
|---|---|---|
| GST and MSME compliance adviser | filingdesk.consulting | Return-filing packages and a document checklist |
| ISO certification consultant | iso9001.consulting | Audit-readiness steps and timelines |
| Independent SAP or Salesforce consultant | yourname.consulting | Project history and day rates for overseas clients |
| Study-abroad counsellor | ukvisa.consulting | University shortlists and application calendar |
| HR, POSH and labour-law trainer | workplace.consulting | Workshop calendar and policy templates |
| Management consultancy LLP | firmname.consulting | Case studies and a partner profile page |

Does .consulting require a professional qualification?
No. The registry checks no degree, membership or licence, and any individual, proprietorship, LLP or company can register .consulting. Regulated professions are the exception to watch: chartered accountants, company secretaries and advocates follow their own councils’ rules on firm names, websites and advertising, so check those before choosing a name.
- Firm name match: an LLP or company should register in its legal name so the domain is a firm asset.
- Trademarks: avoid a client’s or certification body’s mark in the label; that invites a UDRP complaint.
- Invoices: add your GSTIN at checkout for input tax credit.
.consulting vs .expert vs .management
Use .consulting when you sell advice by the project, .expert when your personal authority is the product, and .management for operations or property-management firms that want a lower renewal bill. All rank on content; the choice is about how a prospect reads your email signature.
Freelancers billing foreign clients often keep a .com or a .pro as well, and point the .consulting name to it.
Launching a consultancy on a .consulting domain
A consultant’s site needs three things on day one: a credible email address, a services page with clear scope, and a booking or enquiry route.
- Register the name and set up you@firm.consulting on business email or Google Workspace.
- Publish a one-page site on shared hosting with services, credentials and a contact form.
- Add SPF, DKIM and DMARC records so proposals do not land in spam.
- Turn on auto-renew; compare other endings on the domain registration hub.
Frequently asked questions
Who manages the .consulting registry?
Dog Beach, LLC, care of Identity Digital Inc. in Bellevue, Washington, according to IANA. The registry was transferred to Dog Beach on 2 June 2021.
Can a chartered accountant use a .consulting domain?
The registry allows it, but ICAI members must follow ICAI’s guidelines on firm names and websites. Check them first, or keep the CA practice on its approved firm name and use .consulting only for a separate advisory entity.
How much is .consulting for five years?
₹26,876 before 18% GST at WebJi®: ₹5,116 for year one and four renewals at ₹5,440. The same five years of .management cost ₹14,769.
Is my name or my firm’s name better in front of .consulting?
Solo consultants who sell their own reputation do well with yourname.consulting. Firms planning to hire or sell the practice later should use the firm name, so the domain is not tied to one person.
Does .consulting support DNSSEC?
Yes. The zone has a secure delegation at the root, so you can sign your name once your DNS host supports DNSSEC.
